Such a simple addition to our pets food with some big health benefits 👌🏼

A new peer-reviewed, randomized controlled study in dogs with heart failure, published in the American Journal of Physiology–Heart and Circulatory Physiology, found that a coconut-derived medium-chain fat called octanoate also known as caprylic acid, which comes from natural fats especially those rich in medium-chain fatty acids, helped improve heart function and slow disease progression. It worked by providing the failing heart with an easier to use fuel source, which improved pumping ability, increased cardiac output, and reduced strain on the heart. The dogs receiving octanoate showed better metabolic efficiency and more stable heart performance compared to controls, suggesting that supporting energy production in the heart may be a promising strategy for heart failure management.

This research highlights an important clinical takeaway. Targeted nutritional support can directly influence cardiac energy metabolism. Coconut oil as a natural source of medium-chain triglycerides including octanoate may be a useful nutritional addition for dogs with cardiac compromise. When combined with a low-AGE, fresh, nutritionally complete meat-based diet and mitochondrial supportive nutrients such as coenzyme Q10, acetyl L carnitine, and taurine, this approach may help support the metabolically stressed heart by improving energy production, enhancing contractility, and supporting overall cardiac resilience.

This is very interesting!
Let me know if you’re interested in CBD oil for your furry friend.
I’ve been supplementing my dog with it for several months. 👍

Study Highlights:

•This study investigates h**p seed oil's potential as alternative antimicrobial therapies in veterinary small animal dermatology.

•Hemp seed oil demonstrated antimicrobial activity against multi-drug resistant bacterial strains.

•Hemp seed oil showed synergy with gentamicin, reducing MIC of resistant S. pseudintermedius strains effectively.

•The findings indicate h**p seed oil may be a safe and effective alternative or adjunct to conventional treatments for localized skin infections.

Such an easy thing we can do for our dogs.

“Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate, about 800 milligrams! And the slippery membrane that lines the inside of the shell is loaded with collagen, elastin, protein, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which provide fantastic joint support. Supplementing with eggshell membranes has even been shown to reduce joint pain by 72.5 percent.” - The Forever Dog LIFE

Eggshell membrane, a natural byproduct of the egg industry, has gained significant attention as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. The key proteins in ESM (Eggshell membrane) play a fundamental role in cartilage health (1). While collagens provide tensile strength to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid (HA) help maintain hydration and elasticity (2).

Furthermore, collagen types I, V, and X, elastin, and various growth factors included in ESM are critical for supporting cartilage repair (3). These properties make ESM an attractive candidate for promoting cartilage repair, especially in degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis (4). Similar to humans, dogs experience osteoarthritis, where chronic inflammation triggers oxidative stress, causing chondrocyte death, cartilage breakdown, and degradation of the ECM, ultimately leading to joint degeneration (5). Eggshell membrane has been shown to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and improve joint health in animal models and human studies, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements (6).
